I have thought that this is the probable match-up, too. Romney is respectable and can show governing ability. He will need to overcome the Mormon factor. I have conservative friends who view Mormonism as a cult. He needs to get out there and build trust nationally. I personally would like to see a different frontrunner with Mitt as the VP candidate. Then he could build the trust he needs to run for the Presidency. I don’t believe that Hillary is electable. I would have loved to see her confront the staffer that misspelled tomorrow on the banner behind her from the last speech. It must have been like the millennium celebrations! Bloomberg would only take Dem votes away from Hillary. I can’t imagine any respectable conservative voting for Bloomberg.

He will need to overcome the Mormon factor. . .

Being a Mormon, did not hurt Harry Reid. . .think that needs to be 'called' on. Personally, for as much as I engage politics; did not know - or had forgotten - that Harry was a Mormon; as that info seldom came into play.

Nor did I EVER hear Dem. Governor Bill Richardson, referenced as 'Hispanic' as in 'first Hispanic candidate'. . .until he was deciding to make a run for Demrat Presidential nomination. . .

. . .have to say, it was news to me!

That said; a certain irony; inasmuch as Romney; 'despite' his Mormon credentials; is the ONLY candidate running who personally exemplifies the family values that Conservatives hold dear in their Candidates.

Personally, wish his hair were a bit messed up on occasion; but hey. . .no one is perfect!
